Watch Bannack: The Making of Montana 63462p

Short documentary on Bannack, the first town and territorial capitol of Montana. At first a far-flung part of Idaho, the area had no criminal code and quickly became a beehive of violence, culminating in the lynching of Sheriff Henry Plummer by vigilantes. Townspeople left a written record of the early years and what it was like starting out in an unsettled, ungoverned land. 2o3s28
